Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 16.2 MP Waterproof Digital Still Camera with Exmor R CMOS Sensor, 3D Sweep Panorama, and Full HD 1080/60i Video (Blue)

I really enjoyed my first waterproof compact camera Pentax Optio W10 ---.
Train decent pictures and waterproof ... great for snapping pictures of my children in and around the water.

Also bought the Optio W30 and W60, hoping that the updated models would be much better than the former. Unfortunately, the picture quality getting worse with each newer model. Bummer.

Does the Canon D10 ... I like the pictures from the D10 better than the Pentax D10 is used as the primary and the W60 as a backup.
D10 is bulky and the focus is rather slow, but the jpeg colors are nicer than the Pentax.

Sony DCS-TX10 last week, have not tried the water yet, but the following comments:

Positive:
- Much faster focusing than the D10
- Wide angle begins at 25mm versus 35mm for the D10
- Stunning high-definition movie mode with zoom support and stereo
- Good powerful images with accurate color
- Very compact
- Image stabilization very good
- Sweep Panorama is a useful and enjoyable
- Sliding protects the lens

Negative:
- It takes a few seconds from startup to first slide
- Takes 5-7 seconds to start recording a movie, if not in video mode
- This is very annoying, maybe it can be determined by future firmware update?
- Not so crazy about the touch screen
- The battery does not last very long (about the same as D10)
- Water resistant to 5 m to 10 m for D10
- Playing pictures seems a little sluggish

There is no separate charger that is loaded into the camera via a USB cable, an iPod / iPhone.
I prefer to have a separate charger, so I can charge a spare battery while you are still using the camera, but I think others may prefer simply download from a USB port. Just to be clear, it comes with a charger (like an iPhone) so you can recharge from a wall outlet as well. But no one charger.

Bought this battery and charger kit from Amazon:
Wasabi Power Battery Charger for Sony Cyber-shot NP-BN1, DSC-T99, DSC-TX5, DSC ...

I have not taken it in the water yet ... So if this camera die on me after hitting the water or do something totally unexpected, I'd say this is the best waterproof compact that I've owned and would highly recommend it.
